Working on the next Script

I think I am finally on track with the script I have been working on for the next Bald Explorer video I am producing. After a few false starts, I am finally finding my feet with this series. With luck and good weather, when I come to film this episode, it will be more coherent than the previous ones. Famous last words of course.

I am slightly worried about the potential for snow. I don’t want that ruining my continuity. Snow is all very well, but if you are filming scenes with the stuff and you need to go back and take pick up shots and then its not there, that can be problematical.

Also, another thing I want to avoid is the Christmas decorations all over the place. That really dates a production, especially if it is not released during that season or relevant to the religious festival.

Beer Show and Friends…

My friend James Hastell, or Jimmy to his friends, popped over yesterday to the Beach Hut studio to record another of our crazy beer shows. Its always good to spend time with your friends. I enjoy the company of Jimmy and also Steve Pegram and we often have a laugh and a joke.

I am looking forward to working on new Bald Explorer projects and other filming/performing/podcasting related things this month. It would be nice if the weather brightens up, but that’s more than we can hope for this time of year I suppose.

My Sunday starts early with a little...

A Day of Fun!

I had a lovely day out with friends today, good old Paul Stoneman and James Hastell and together we managed to have a few beers, enjoy a coffee and munch a light lunch.

We used to do this a lot more than we have recently, which is a shame, but never the less it was great to catch up. I don’t get out with friends as often as I know I should. I am often reading researching or working on projects. If not that then I am working on the corporate videos that pay my bills. So it was great to abandon the work for once and take some time to relax and talk a...

A walk along Worthing Seafront

Sometimes to get away from the four walls of the office and to find inspiration I take to the promenade along Worthing’s quiet seafront. The light today was rather lovely so I couldn’t resist taking a quick snap with the Blackberry phone and sending it up to Twitpic as well as here.

Its been another day of trying to find the way to go with the next Bald Explorer and falling short. As I wondered along the seafront I realised my problem is that I am trying too hard. An idea began to uncurl itself from the dark recesses of my mind and...

Shopping Centre Distorys its Heritage

The Shropshire Star carried a story about plans for a new development in the centre of Shrewsbury.

http://www.shropshirestar.com/news/2011/07/15/video-view-of-shrewsbury-riverside-shopping-plans/

I am a traditionalist and I hate these new developments that do not pay attention to a towns heritage. So I made the following comments:

I am a visitor to the wonderful market town that is Shrewsbury. Further more I am planning to make a film about the place. In doing so I have started to read and research the history of this incredible and unique community.
